Nigerian multiple award-winning Afro Beat star, David Adeleke, better known as Davido has given reasons he is not considered a successful singer both at home and on the global scene.
He said that one of the reasons is that he comes from a wealthy family.
The father of 3 disclosed this in a chat on “IONWANNATALK” podcast. He added that he lacks the “grass to grace” narrative which normally plays into the sentiment of Nigerians.
The ‘Dami duro’ crooner added that his situation makes it harder for him to be appreciated despite his impact on the Africa/global music scene.
Davido also alleged envy in the industry which is why he has strived much harder than the common man.
In his words, “Not to be cocky but when next is the industry going to see another Davido? Let’s just be honest….A child from where I come from, hustled, suffered.
“I can tell you that I’ve suffered more than a lot of people that don’t have money. And I’ve been able to build what I built. It’s not going to happen in a long time.
“I don’t have the grass to grace story. And for Nigerians to accept you without that is usually very hard.
“That’s why I’m asking you because I know…..I don’t think there’s anything the industry needs because it’s always going to be the same thing. There’s always going to be envy.”
